BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

Gov. Ned Lamont gathered with housing officials and elected officials including Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling in the education center for Norwalk’s Colonial Village public housing development on the morning of April 17 to announce a $1.8 million grant for the construction of 69 new housing units and a new early education center.

Fifty childcare slots are also to be funded at the education center in the new construction, to be called Oak Grove Apartments and Learning Center. Bob Hotaling, the deputy commissioner and chief investment officer of the Department of Economic and Community Development, explained that the grant was part of the Community Investment Fund (CIF).

“It includes $175 million each year for five years to uplift towns and cities by providing inclusive growth and opportunity by focusing on unique and target investments,” Hotaling

ASML of Wilton inducted into the American Manufacturing Hall of Fame

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

An awards ceremony held at The Jackson Laboratory facility in Farmington on April 13 celebrated the induction of three iconic high-tech manufacturing companies from Connecticut into the American Manufacturing Hall of Fame (AMHoF).

ASML of Wilton joined General Dynamics Electric Boat of Groton and RBC Bearings of Oxford in accepting the honor conferred by the College of Technology within Housatonic Community College. The AMHoF was founded in 2014 to celebrate the many technological innovations and examples of manufacturing excellence.

Additionally, 41 companies across Connecticut were recognized for their participation in the Artemis 1 Moonshot program with the Boldly Go! Award. The Artemis 1 flight in 2022 provided an important test of many mission critical systems for the 2024 Artemis 2, which will be the first manned spaceflight to the moon since 1972.

ASML was honored on the strength of its history and continuing contributions to the world of high-tech manufacturing. Its Wilton facilities are where important advances in the history of photolithography, the process by which circuits are printed on semiconductors to produce microchips, originated in the 1960s.

Today, the facility features 3,000 employees undertaking research and development and manufacture of the machines necessary to manufacture the economically and strategically vital resource. A major expansion currently underway is expected to both increase the facility’s production capacity and add 1000 new jobs to the community.

Janet Prisloe, a principal at professional services firm and founding sponsor of the 2023 AMHoF CliftonLarsonAllen, welcomed ASML in the ceremony by noting the ubiquity of their work.

“Our first inducted company changes the world one nanometer at a time. ASML is a world leader in the semi-conductor industry, and in fact ASML is probably part of the electronic device you’re using right now,” Prisloe said.

Louis Lu, a senior vice president at ASML and head of all operations in Connecticut, accepted the award on the company’s behalf.

“On behalf of ASML, our 3,000 employees at ASML Wilton, and those who came before us, thank you for this honor,” Lu said as he accepted the award, which was locally manufactured at Ashcroft Pewter.

“What our employees do in Connecticut every day has a profound impact on the world we live in today, and we are also devoted to tomorrow. We innovate every day to advance manufacturing capabilities of the semiconductor industry, and also to push technologies to the limit of physics. We are very proud to be part of this 350year story as the birthplace of invention and manufacturing.”

Connecticut’s U.S. Sens. Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal also spoke at the event, thanking the inducted businesses for their contributions to not only Connecticut but to the country as a whole.

“My family’s story is a story of Connecticut manufacturing,” noted Murphy. “Both my great-grandfather, who immigrated to this country from Poland, his son, my grandfather, built our family based on jobs in the New Britain ball bearing plants.”

Murphy also noted that he keeps offices beneath the dome of the old Colt Manufacturing plant, which he credited with being the birthplace of the modern assembly line and interchangeable parts even ahead of Henry Ford’s Model T plant.

Blumenthal, addressing the audience remotely after his leg was broken during the recent UConn victory parade, agreed with Murphy that the time has come to “reshore and resurge American manufacturing.”

“We don’t have gold mines, we don’t have oil wells, we don’t have the Grand Canyon. What we have is really smart, talented people that we develop through great educational institutions,” Blumenthal said. “We need to keep our eye on the ball because workforce development is the great challenge of our time.”

The ceremony also served as a fundraising event for students at Housatonic Community College earning certificate, associate, and bachelor’s degrees in STEM disciplines. The prior six events raised over $300,000 in total for scholarships and educational programs.

Augustus Development, which plans to construct an apartment building in Eastchester, is asking the town’s Planning Board to approve modifications to the approved plans. The project would be built at 5 Ray Place. John Saraceno is president of Augustus Development and also heads Trinity Associates LLC based in Pleasantville. Trinity is a real estate development firm that has projects in communities including Peekskill, Yonkers, White Plains, Ossining, Mount Vernon, Pleasantville and St. Albans in Queens.

The project involves constructing a five-story 18-unit apartment building. Variances had been received from Eastchester’s Zoning Board of Appeals in January of 2021 and the Planning Board approved the application in July of 2021. The proposal had attracted opposition from local residents, including more than 200 who signed a petition in 2020 claiming that the project would negatively impact the northern part of Eastchester.

Jaime Martinez, director of development for Trinity Associates, told the Eastchester Planning Board, “It is an 18 apartment project that has nine one-bedroom units and nine-two bedroom units. There are 31 parking spaces. It’s an all-electric building, so no gas. Con Ed has a moratorium but it makes for a much greener project. The original building when we came to this Planning Board had 21 units. We’ve taken three units out because we felt some of those apartments were a little too small.”

Martinez said that one of the benefits of taking out the three apartments is that the number of required parking spaces has been reduced. The developer received a variance to provide 31 spaces instead of the required 33 spaces. Under the requested change, 31.5 parking spaces would be required without the variance.

Other proposed changes include using slate shingles instead of metal shingles on the roof, elimination of all railings at the windows, eliminating stair bulkheads from the roof, decreasing the size of the elevator bulkhead by nine feet so it’s reduced to 5-1/2 feet in height, adding

garage exhaust vents, removing a retailing wall, adding an emergency generator and adding two new utility poles to bring in power lines to service the building.

The developer said Con Edison would allow it to put the needed electric transformer for the building on the building’s property rather than having it hang on a utility pole. The electric transmission wires would be placed underground as they got close to the building..

“Understandably, people are afraid of change,” Martinez said. “But this building’s quite lovely and it looks better than a parking lot.”

“You’ve already approved of the building,” she told the Planning Board. Uhle said the most significant issue involves the installation of the two new utility poles and suggested the board members might want to do a site visit to look at pole placement and whether it might affect the immediate neighborhood.

Advertorial: Anniversary Issue

“If you go down by Ray Place and Brook Avenue you’ll note that there are a lot of utility poles connecting directly to homes at the corner of Brook and Ray,” Martinez said. “We’re asking for similar treatment. We’re going to do it much better because we’re going to put the transformer on our project (site) and it’s going to be underground (wires) when it gets there.”

Al N. Filippone brings his real estate leadership insight to a new book

BY PHIL HALL Phall@westfairinc.com

Al N. Filippone, the real estate veteran who leads a highly successful, $350 million-a-year, 50-person team at William Raveis in Fairfield County, has published his first book “Boom! There Goes Your Resolve.”

The new book is being promoted as a “must-read, informative guide to success for aspiring or current residential real estate agents, as well as homebuyers and sellers.” Filippone recently spoke with the Business Journals regarding the creation and contents of his book.

Congratulations on the new book. What made you decide to become an author?

It was funny. A few years back, I kind of felt like things kept happening to me in my real estate business. And with the advent of blogging, I decided to write a daily blog.

It was a daily tonic, and it was 365 days. So, every day for a year, I would write out something that happened to me that day and write two, three or four paragraphs about how that was. And the people that were seeing it thought it was really well done and that I should turn it into a book.

One of the more intriguing observations included in the book is data from the National Association of Realtors that 87% of real estate agents quit after five years. Why is it such a high percentage of people leaving after a relatively short period of time?

Well, it’s not brain surgery and it’s not rocket science. It’s very simple, but it’s not easy and it takes time. It could be kind of boring for some people, as far as how to prospect for business. And for those people, if doesn’t work in two or three months, they give up.

Really, after two or three months?

If it doesn’t happen right away, they get more discouraged. And eventually, they get to maybe another two or three months of not making any money and they get discouraged.

One of the lessons you have in your book is titled “How Owning Your Failures Leads to Success.” A lot of people don’t like to admit failure, so how does one go about owning a failure without becoming depressed over it?

I think that’s a great question. I think you’ve just got to put it out of your mind.

Some people will come to the office and sit at the desk. But they’re really not working. They’re thinking about the last thing that fell through. So, really, it’s just bouncing back up and putting it on your mind, knowing that understanding that all the no’s don’t mean anything. It’s just the next yes that does.

And another lesson is “Why Sometimes Losing is the Winning Move.” How is that possible? It seems like a contradiction, at least from somebody who doesn’t like to admit to lose.

That’s a funny thing. I will give you like a specific example – as a realtor, obviously the golden globe is getting the listings because then you have all the realtors working for you. Sometimes you’re going be talking to clients or potential clients getting ready to sell their home and you want to price it – you’re suggesting the price of X and they want X plus Y. You feel like it’s going to take a long time to get it sold, so you want a minimum of six months listing – but they want to stay for less than six months.

So, you compromise, compromise, compromise. Sellers are not nearly as

motivated as they indicated they were, so they don’t get the house properly prepared to sell. You spin the wheels for six months and it never sells and it goes to the next realtor.

We’re in a very good market, but in a down market there’s a saying: the perfect situation in life is to be the firstborn son, the second wife and the third realtor.

Your book gives advice for real estate agents on how to was succeed in business. Are there some people who are just not right for this type of line of work? And are there people who just seem to be born for it?

Yes. The people who don’t make it are the engineering types who have to think things through nine ways to Sunday. Because while they’re thinking, the others are picking up the phone and getting the business.

For the people who make, it’s through determination, consistency, hard work. And then there’s a certain effect with the top producers that you can’t put your finger on it. They’re just great salespeople.

Recent economic data includes reports about people struggling to make ends meet, not being able to save money and running up credit card delinquencies. In your opinion, do you think people continue to afford housing today or homeownership in view of the struggles people have with inflation and the cost of things going up and wages not going up with it?

It’s so confounding and nobody can figure it out. We don’t even have close to a lack of buyers – in fact, it’s just the opposite.

There is a lack of inventory – in Connecticut and the Northeast, the inventory continues to be down. But there are multiple buyers for almost every listing, there continues to be bidding wars, market contingencies dropped, inspection contingencies dropped, closings are above asking price – it’s still a buying frenzy.

What is the state of Connecticut’s housing market today?

Through January, we were the only state in the country where inventory was actually down a little bit. In other states, it was either up a little bit or a little bit more significantly – even 10%, Connecticut was, year-over-year, down like 3%.

But in Connecticut, prices are up. They’re certainly not coming down yet.

What kind of reaction have you gotten to the book since it’s come out?

It is getting excellent feedback. The number of people who told me they can’t put it down is very encouraging.

What’s next in your agenda? Do you have any additional books planned?

Not at the current moment. When I was writing, there was no question in my mind this would be the only one. I guess I’ve been bitten by the bug. And now I’m thinking about what should I do a follow-up?

It’s a lot of work, and I want to see how this one sells first.

Port Chester project at center of developer –architect dispute

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

AHarrison contractor has sued an architect for $30 million for allegedly appropriating control of a major Port Chester development.

Jean Sinis accused Manhattan architect Scott Allen of violating a confidentiality agreement and improperly taking control of the project, in an April 4 complaint filed in Westchester Supreme Court.

“The allegations here are such fantasy,” Allen’s attorney, William Wachtel, said in a brief telephone interview, “they almost make it impossible to responsibly comment.”

He said he expects the court will summarily dismiss the action.

The dispute concerns a development once known as the Sinis Towers project. The proposed apartment building and retail space would replace mostly vacant and underused buildings at Westchester Avenue and East Broadway.

The site is partly owned by the Sinis family and is near the train station at the gateway to the village’s central business district.

The latest version of the project, discussed by the Port Chester Industrial Development Agency last November, is a 12-story, 325-apartment structure with parking garage and retail space and costing $153 million.

Sinis says he has been working on the project for ten years. In 2015, Allen was brought in to begin developing plans for an 8-story building with 250 to 270 apartments.

For several years, according to the complaint, Sinis and Allen talked with and texted one another, shared plans and proposals, and met with potential investors.

In 2017, Sinis formed 2SMSPortChester LLC – named for 2 South Main St. property owned by the Sinis family – and filed an application with the Port Chester Industrial Development Agency for tax-exempt bond financing.

The following month, Sinis claims, he and Allen and businesses associated with Allen entered into a nondisclosure, non-circumvention agreement.

Allen allegedly acknowledged that Sinis had introduced him to the project, including details about properties currently owned by the Sinis family and nearby

properties that would have to be acquired.

The purported agreement required everyone to maintain confidentiality and not circumvent the project.

By fall 2020, Sinis alleges, Allen was discussing the project with Hyperion Development Group, a real estate investment and development firm with offices in Miami and Manhattan, and with whom Allen is now employed.

n May 2021, Hyperion formed 2SM Development, the complaint states, choosing a name similar to the Sinis entity so as to mislead the village Industrial Development Agency into thinking that the new 2SM was an affiliate of the Sinis company.

Sinis says Allen stopped returning phone calls and the new 2SM company bought Sinis family properties by dealing with another member of the family with whom Jean Sinis is estranged.

Sinis accuses Allen of breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and unjust enrichment. He is represented by Manhattan attorney Kenneth F. McCallion.

The complaint is similar to a lawsuit Sinis

filed in 2021 against Greenwich, Connecticut real estate developer Michael Caridi that also sought $30 million in damages.

Caridi was to help acquire properties for the project and raise funds from outside investors. Sinis claimed that Caridi acquired properties on his own, rather than for their joint venture, and violated a confidentiality agreement.

Caridi filed counter-claims against Sinis and demanded $25 million, claiming that Sinis had violated their deal by misrepresenting how much property he owned and by not contributing property to the joint venture.

Last September, Sinis and Caridi stipulated that the action should be dismissed, “having resolved their differences.”

ro-North train station. The project would involve two phases, with a total estimated cost of $425 million. There would be a total of 873 apartments in the two towers. The project also would have 4,800 square feet of retail/commercial space and 889 parking spaces.

In a letter to the Planning Board, Attorney Mark Weingarten of the White Plains-based law firm DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkher LLP  said that the site covers approximately 1.14 acres and is where the former Teutonia Hall stood. Teutonia Hall was constructed in 1892 as a German-American music and literary venue, and had been vacant for more than 25 years before it suffered a significant fire in 2013, and was demolished in 2014.

The  Buena Vista project would be the first of three that AMS has been working on in Yonkers. The other two sites are identified as Chicken Island and North Broadway developments.

The plans AMS has been developing in Yonkers would produce a total of 3,556 residential units, approximately 84,000

YONKERS

square feet of retail, restaurant and other commercial space, approximately 30,000 square feet of office space and 3,904 parking spaces.

In November, 2022, the Planning Board acting as lead agency under the State Environmental Quality Review Act adopted an Environmental Findings Statement covering the three project sites according to Weingarten.

“On February 28, 2023, the City Council adopted amendments to the City of Yonkers Zoning Map and Zoning Code, and amendments to the City of Yonkers Getty Square Urban Renewal Plan, Riverview Urban Renewal Plan and the Downtown Master Plan all to facilitate development of the proposed project,” Weingarten explained.

At the April 12 Planning Board meeting, Attorney Janet Giris of DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkher LLP appeared for an informal presentation about the Buena Vista Avenue project. She said that the developments planned by AMS for Yonkers would take place over an approximately 10-year time frame.

Saurabh Goenka of the New York Citybased firm S9 Architecture and Engineering said that half of the podium beneath the towers that contains the parking would be built when the first tower is built in Phase

One and the remaining section would be constructed as part of Phase Two when the secnd tower is built. He said there would be a total of 10 stories of parking, with four below grade stories and six above-grade stories.

“In Phase One we’re building a total of about 760,000 square feet of floor area with about 480,000 square feet residential and the rest dedicated to parking and some retail at the ground level,” Goenka said. “Phase One is envisioned to have about 494 (residential) units.”

Goenka said that the design for the base of the building has been focused on how the project relates to the city and the surrounding area.

“The way the podium facade has been designed it’s sort of broken into smaller buldings. It would be perceived as a group of a few buildings versus one biilding in a large super-block,” Goenka said. “The idea is to create a facade of what used to be there.”

Goenka said that there would be perforated screening of the above-grade parking that would be used as a canvas for creating a graphic that “celebrates what Yonkers is and what Yonkers could be.” He said that there also would be screenng with a graphic on the side of the parking levels

said of the CIF. “It’s a powerful tool.”

David McCarthy, president of Heritage Housing – which will oversee the development – was eager to share the details of the Oak Grove project.

“This is exciting for me both because the development itself will be great and a nice addition to Norwalk, but I’m also a lifelong Norwalker and I grew up a mile from this location,” McCarthy said, noting that wage levels for residency can range from 30% to 80% of the area median income. “Tenants coming in could earn from anywhere as low as nothing, if they’re out of work temporarily, or up to $134,000 for a family of four.”

The project will include 18 one-bedroom apartments, 24 two-bedroom units and 27 three-bedroom units spread across 18 buildings in keeping with the current format of the adjacent Colonial Village. The expanded education center will have two classrooms, a playground and a meal prep area plus additional flexible space.

The total cost of the project is expected to be $36 million and will be financed

that are visible on the Hudson River side of the project along Water Grant Street. He said the two residential towers would be set back to reduce the effect of the towers onto the streetscape.

“The concept of the tower design is mostly focused on how we can extend the existing street fabric, which is a lot of brick in the neighborhood, and as the building rises up closer to the sky we transition between more brick and less glass to less brick and more glass and by the time you reach the top there’s almost no brick,” Goenka said. He explained that some amenities for residents are accessed on the seventh floor, including an outdoor pool and active and passive reaction space.

“At the top of the building we have another amenity zone; rooftop lounge and outdoor terraces that support the residents’ recreational needs,” Goenka said. He explained that there would be 80 feet between the two towers, exceeding the 60 feet required by the city.

Goenka said that the developer is working with Metro-North to address any concerns it may have regarding shadows cast by the buildings that affect the railroad right-of-way. He also said wind studies have been done and the plans already incorporate elements to address wind conditions.

by tax-exempt bonds, low-income housing tax credits, a loan from the Connecticut Department of Housing and the newly announced grant payment, according to McCarthy.

Lamont emphasized the economic value of projects like Oak Grove and made the case that budget approvals could help spur similar work across the state.

“It’s one of the biggest investments we’re trying to make in this coming budgetary session,” Lamont said. “We’ve got a couple hundred million for workforce housing on top of the biggest investment in affordable housing we’ve done in many a year. If we don’t make sure that housing’s available for all these folks, unfilled jobs have to go somewhere else.”

State Rep. Kadeem Roberts, a Democrat who represents Norwalk’s 137th Assembly District, praised the local residents for their faith in bringing Oak Grove to life.

“Thank you to the people that live in the community of Colonial Village that stayed real calm with this process and that actually trusted us. Far too many times people feel like they’re getting kicked out,” said Roberts.

Fairfield County Q1 office leasing up 8%

BY PHIL HALL Phall@westfairinc.com

Quarterly leasing activity for Fairfield County’s office market totaled 484,000 square feet during the first quarter of this year, according to new data published by CBRE.

The first quarter’s leasing level was up by 8% from the previous quarter and was 4% ahead of the five-year average. However, year-to-date leasing activity was down by 11% from the same period in 2022.

Within the region’s submarkets, the Stamford Central Business District (CBD) led the county with 139,000 square feet, an accomplishment fueled primarily by the largest single transaction during the first quarter – ICON International’s twofloor lease at 107 Elm St. that encompassed nearly 61,000 square feet. The ICON International transaction accounted

for more than 40% of the Stamford CBD’s leasing activity during the first quarter.

The next two largest transactions during the quarter were in the Fairfield East submarket: Transpac’s 41,000-square-foot lease at 120 Corporate Drive in Trumbull and Butler America’s 32,437-square-foot lease renewal at 2 Trap Falls Road in Shelton. CBRE noted that Fairfield East accounted for 124,000 square feet of leasing activity in the quarter, an 88% spike from the previous quarter and 107% above the five-year quarterly average.

Rounding out the top five transactions were a pair of deals in Greenwich: First Republic Bank’s 24,061-square-foot lease at 55 Railroad Ave. in the Greenwich CBD and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide’s 24,027-square-foot lease renewal at 51 Weaver St. in the non-CBD area of the town. The Greenwich CBD saw a total of 52,000 square feet of leas-

ing activity in the quarter, up 84% from the previous quarter and 18% above the five-year quarterly average. The non-CBD sector within Greenwich totaled 50,000 square feet, up 128% from the previous quarter and 86% above the five-year quarterly average. The Greenwich nonCBD benefited from Greenwich Hospital’s 16,000-square-foot expansion at 500 West Putnam Ave.

In comparison, Central Fairfield’s generated 100,000 square feet in leasing transactions, down 23% from the previous quarter but 10% above the five-year average. Northern Fairfield trailed the submarkets, with a relatively scant 7,000 square feet of activity for the quarter.

The availability rate for Fairfield County’s office market in the first quarter totaled 273,484 square feet, or 26.7%, a 60 basis points (bps) drop from the previous quarter and 10 bps higher than one year ago.

Three of the seven Fairfield County submarkets reported positive absorption during the quarter: Greenwich CBD (7,000 square feet, or 7%), Greenwich non-CBD (62,000 square feet, or 21%) and Central Fairfield (372,000 square feet, or 28.8% – the lowest level since the second quarter of 2020).

Fairfield County’s asking rent in the first quarter was $36.05, a 2% drop from the previous quarter and 5% higher than the first quarter of 2022. CBRE attributed the quarter-over-quarter dip to the removal of higher-priced office space Greenwich and Wilton.

Fairfield East saw a 6% slide in average rents to $19.08 per square foot – this decline was mostly attributed to repricing across properties along Trumbull’s Merritt Boulevard. Greenwich CBD’s average asking rent was $102.98 per square foot, marking the second consecutive quarter above the $100 level.

Waiting to exhale? Try these new and refreshed spas

BY GEORGETTE GOUVEIA ggouveia@westfairinc.com

With a total market size of $19.3 billion in 2022 and some 21,848 sites in the United States, https://sharpsheets.io/blog/ how-much-profits-spa/#:~:text=With%20 a%20total%20market%20size,is%20 about%20%24880%2C000%20per%20 year the spa industry is one to be reckoned with. A sizable chunk of it (37.4%) is tied to hotels and resorts, due to booming wellness tourism worldwide. Still, standalone spas or those grouped under a brand make up the bulk of the industry. We at Westfair wanted to introduce you to some area newcomers you might not be familiar with, as well as one well-established brand whose flagship has risen from the ashes quite literally:

Rebirth of a flagship

After a fire that destroyed its original location in Greenwich’s Riverside section in 2020, Greenwich Medical Spa is scheduled to have a soft opening May 1 for the reimagined site. (The spa currently has a temporary Greenwich location in Cos Cob.) The new two-story, 6,000-square-foot medical spa at 1285 E. Putnam Ave.—which will have its grand opening June 1 – takes an even more holistic approach to wellness that goes beyond

its 10 treatment rooms.

The main floor features a lounge, café and a beauty bar for product demonstrations and vendor events as well as such treatments as cosmetic injectables, skin tightening and advanced facial laser work. The main floor also contains the aesthetic department, offering high-tech facials and the GMS Acne Clinic. The lower level houses the new GMS Body Center, which provides clients with such services as Coolsculpting Elite, Emsculpt Neo and laser hair removal. It also includes an open workspace/café/lounge and kitchen where patients can relax while savoring an array of beverages, customized graffiti artwork and hanging swing chairs or work if they choose.

The flexible space can also be transformed into a hub to host meetings and special events for local organizations that align with the GMS brand.

As founder Marria Pooya https://westfaironline.com/featured/empowering-people-to-look-and-feel-good/ said in a statement, “My vision for this space is to host educational and local charitable fundraising events, invite vendors and businesses to create pop-ups to introduce new services and products and for GMS to play a

more instrumental and purposeful role in connecting and building our community through networking and education.

“We are excited to unveil this…new concept to our many patients, new customers and partners in Greenwich where we founded the business in 2005 and hope to carry the concept throughout all of our clinics,” Pooya added of the Westport,

Ridgefield, Glastonbury, West Hartford and Scarsdale locales, with Closter, New Jersey, coming in June.

The flagship was redesigned by Stephanie Purzycki, CEO of The Finish home goods store in Southport and a Fairfield resident, who has done residential and hospitality interiors for such brands as Regent Seven Sea Cruises, Sixty Hotels, The Study at Yale hotel, Thompson Hotels, Tishman hotels, Westin Hotels & Resorts; and OTG, which has reinvented airport terminals across the United States and Canada.

“Design concepts for the new GMS Greenwich MedSpa are purposefully rooted in nature to provide a calm, soothing environment that enhances the patient’s experience,” stated Purzycki. “Beautiful, textured wallpaper from Omexco was chosen for the reception area to add visual interest and sophistication upon arrival and to provide a GMS signature look. We curated mural wallcoverings from Drop it Modern with soft, figurative female line drawings that embrace the elegance and power of women.”

With plans to acquire or open additional tristate locations, ultimately expanding throughout the Northeast, GMS is also enhancing its portfolio of services.

In March, it introduced the Generator, an add-on to many of the skin and laser treatments that reduces healing time and increases collagen rejuvenation.

“The Generator delivers billions of stem cell-derived exosomes to trigger potent growth factors to help reverse the signs of aging, repair damaged skin and provide complete skin regeneration versus PRP (platelet-rich plasma), which (offers) growth factors derived from our blood that decrease in efficacy with aging, genetics and lifestyle,” said Amanda Pucci, GMS clinical director and nurse practitioner. “And what is so remarkable about this product is that it’s completely unaffected by the aging process and is the most potent delivery system available today.”

Added Pooya, “Oftentimes, patients’ are concerned with the healing time, and now with ‘The Generator’ our clients will look and feel better than ever in less than 48 hours. Our clients are amazed at the results.

What the Google Analytics 4 transition means to your business

The transition from Universal Analytics to Google Analytics 4 on July 1 has broad consequences for users of Google’s popular digital tracking platform. As of 2022, Google has the largest market share (30%) of any online data provider.

The consequences of the transition are so broad that not every business will share the same concerns. Here are the basics to know, a few of the most frequent concerns, and what it all means for businesses who previously relied on Google’s Universal Analytics (UA) tool to gather essential customer data.

1. What Happens on July 1

Google has announced that UA will stop processing web analytics on July 1, partly due to new and increasing privacy regulations around the world. Google has offered UA customers an automated transition to its Google Analytics 4 platform.

This will most affect longtime UA users who rely on customized reports designed to track the data most relevant to their business. Anyone who chooses the automated transition will not automatically receive custom events, dimensions, metrics, goals, data filters, or other advanced setups beyond Google’s default tracking and enhanced measurement events.

Imagine you have a form on your website, and UA generated a custom report that measured the number of contact form submissions you received every month. If you rely on Google’s automated transition, you will no longer receive that report, because GA4 won’t have a custom event

or report configured. You’ll only have the basic Google Analytics profile, as if your website is brand new. You will need to reconfigure every customization you used previously.

2. The Role of Data Privacy

Google Analytics 4 is a response to recently enacted internet privacy laws. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect across the European Union in 2018. In short, it required businesses to be more transparent about the data they collect from visitors to their websites and apps. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of 2018 offered similar protections to Californians, and its language has been amended multiple times since it first went into effect.

Without major changes to its platform, UA would not have been compliant with these laws because it collected end-user data without their knowledge. UA was not alone in this regard. Depending on how its tracking capabilities were configured, any organization’s website or app could be collecting more information than is legally permitted without obtaining visitor consent.

Google Analytics 4 will not collect any granular data from users in California or Europe unless specific customizations are made. Out of the box, the new platform will only collect highly anonymized statistics. Businesses who want more actionable data on their online traffic from California and Europe will need to give web users in those regions the opportunity to opt

CONNECT WITH westfair communications

in to analytical tracking. Then you can effectively tell Google Analytics: “we’ve informed our users this is the information we collect” – and in response, Google will re-activate more detailed tracking features in affected areas.

3. Next Steps

For businesses that stick with Google Analytics through the transition to version 4, and elect to give online visitors the ability to opt out of tracking, it is crucial to start by performing a basic audit: Does your website have contact forms or downloadable materials? What does your privacy policy look like, and has it been reviewed by a lawyer? Use this transition period to review the scope of how users interact with your website.

You might find that every tracking pixel and analytical tool added to your website over the years offers minimal upside to how you conduct business. Some of these features can slow the online user experience to a crawl.

In general, it’s worth regularly reviewing tracking pixels and trimming away anything that isn’t related to a recently active campaign as part of your site’s maintenance plan. By streamlining your site to track only the data you intend to use, you can make it run faster, remain legally compliant with GDPR and CCPA, and collect only the data most relevant to your business operations.

Understanding what data you intend to collect might take time.

You might choose to let Google Analytics 4 run its basic platform first, then customize its capabilities as you determine what user data is most important. For now, downloading your existing UA data is the most important first stepafter July 1, Google only promises to make

historic UA data accessible for “at least six months.”

4. Alternatives to Google

Ultimately, the purpose of any analytics platform should be to measure the effectiveness of your various online initiatives - how much time users spend watching a webinar, how many customers order or download something from your site, how many views a certain page garners. Google’s reporting tools make it easy to view and interpret this data at a glance. Without those tools, a business can easily track rudimentary traffic data, but a more sophisticated report requires some do-it-yourself website programming.

The advantage to collecting and storing your own data is that you will not have to disclose to customers that you work with a third-party platform, though you still have to disclose that you collect data. Ensuring the security of that data could present a major hassle. If instead you choose to transition your analytics to a Google competitor, a separate set of logistical challenges awaits. Your legal department will need to ensure your site complies with GDPR and CCPA in any event.

For many organizations, moving to a new platform presents an unavoidable hassle - albeit one that offers a chance to re-evaluate your business priorities and focus on creating a better online user experience. And the transition period can itself be a valuable learning experience. Use the coming months wisely, and the new online data privacy landscape will be a less intimidating place.

Since a Manhattan grand jury indicted former President Donald J. Trump on April 4 – and with other Trump grand jury indictments possible – many Americans have become more interested in this part of the legal process. Understanding how a grand jury works helps put the former president’s legal jeopardy into its proper context.

What is a grand jury?

A grand jury is a group of people who are brought together to hear evidence in cases where a crime may have been committed. They review evidence related to allegations, decide whether enough exists for the matter to go to trial and have the power to issue subpoenas – orders that require witnesses or other people to appear before the jury in a court of law. These witnesses must answer questions or else plead the Fifth Amendment, which should not be understood as implying guilt for themselves or the defendant.

In this way, grand juries may be thought of as investigative bodies. If the grand jury finds that the quality of the evidence is compelling and the amount sufficient to send the case to trial, it may issue an indictment, which consists of formal charges against someone. It presents this in court for the consideration of a judge, who then decides whether or not to proceed with the trial.

Grand juries are usually made up of 16 to 23 individuals selected from a pool of citizens living in the jurisdiction where they serve, though this number may vary depending on local or state requirements. Each state also has its own rules for who

Inside the grand jury system

can serve on a grand jury. In general, jurors must be 18 years old and a resident of the county where they are called for jury duty.

How do grand juries work?

Grand juries usually meet once per week (but sometimes more frequently) for several months at a time until their work is done or their term expires. This process can take between six months to two years, depending on how much evidence needs to be reviewed. Since grand juries operate independently, they are often considered a check on the government.

These proceedings are not open to the public, and jurors are sworn to an oath of secrecy. This protects the integrity of the grand jury’s work by preventing witness tampering or pressure from outside sources. It also prevents defendants from being subject to public humiliation, which could lead them to plead guilty just because they don’t want others to watch while their case is heard in court.

Grand juries are different from trial juries, in part because they convene earlier in the legal process. While a grand jury determines whether there is enough evidence for a trial to be warranted, a trial jury would actually determine the guilt or innocence of the accused.

What about Trump’s Manhattan case warranted a grand jury?

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, “States are not required to charge (an individual) by use of a grand jury. Many do, but the Supreme Court has interpreted the Constitution to only require the federal government to use grand juries for all felony crimes. (Federal misdemeanor charges do not have to come from the federal grand jury.)”

Different states have different rules and, in some cases, state prosecutors do not need a grand jury to bring charges against an individual or corporation. They can simply file charges themselves, if they have enough evidence and believe it’s in the public interest.

In New York state, however, a grand jury is necessary to charge someone with a felony. The only exception to this rule is if the defendant appears in open court and waives the grand jury process in writing. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg could have brought lesser charges against Trump without the assistance of a grand jury.

Pursuing felony charges, however, required this approach.

The main takeaway

While prosecutors argue in favor of an indictment before a grand jury, they do not have the power to decide whether an indictment will go forward. It is the grand jury that chooses whether to indict, and the judge makes the final decision.

Therefore, it’s important to understand, that Bragg didn’t indict the former president. He prosecuted Trump, but it was a group of ordinary citizens who made the decision to indict him, having spent months reviewing the evidence. The judge hearing the case, Manuel Merchan, then accepted the grand jury’s decision and moved forward with the charges.

Real Estate Takes Center Stage in Kickoff of State of the Economy Series

The BCW kicked off its annual State of Westchester’s Economy series with a wide-ranging and highly-informative discussion about the outlook for local residential and commercial development in Westchester in 2023. Among the topics covered in the March 30th program were the inventory shortage facing home buyers, necessity of tax incentives for large commercial development like Regeneron’s expansion, and the changing views on affordable housing, among other topics.

Apicella said government entities should help subsidize financing gaps for builders of affordable housing. “There are gaps in our financing scenarios, and they are caused by the rising interest rates, lack of infrastructure, the impediments to the approval process,” said Apicella. “And a further discussion needs to be how do we get more for-sale housing built in Westchester County, because there is a dearth of that right now.”

Belew said that multifamily housing has a perception problem in many Westchester communities. “A lot of the impediment is often the residents of the communities being ill- informed about what is going to be developed and what the impact will be to their communities. I think a lot of people have an outdated view of multifamily in general, whether it’s affordable, market rate or anything else,” said Belew, adding that state environmental review rules also create barriers. “It really slows down the ability to get new housing approved and it opens enormous windows for people who may not even have a lot of standing to come in and challenge development.”

The webinar’s panel of experts included Joseph Apicella, Executive Vice President of MacQuesten Development; Greg Belew, New York/tri-state Division President of Quarterra; Debbie Doern, Senior Vice President of Houlihan Lawrence; Michael P. Goldrick, President and CEO of PCSB Bank; Wilson Kimball, President and CEO of the Yonkers Housing Authority; Richard Nightingale, President of CEO of Westhab; and Mark P. Weingarten, Partner at DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr.

BCW President and CEO Marsha Gordon moderated the virtual program. “The rebirth of Westchester’s urban centers as highly desirable places to live is obvious to everybody,” said Gordon during her introductions. “Our downtowns are being revitalized with new economic vibrancy.”

Weingarten started the discussion with an overview of the real estate landscape.

“We have companies like Regeneron, thank goodness, that are growing. Healthcare systems that are adding hospitals. There’s just been a tremendous amount of development,” said Weingarten whose firm is working on millions of square feet of commercial space. “We still have office vacancies at record highs. We have buildings that must be repurposed because they have no value without it. We have the retail market, which is in shambles, available tenants have decreased dramatically.”

Nightingale said the housing Westhab builds is essential to support Westchester’s economy. “We are building for the lifeblood of our economy and we’re building for people earning $50,000 to $80,000 a year. These are the folks that staff our economy, that work on our main streets, that are teaching our kids, that are doing so many critical things. So, I think it is really important in Westchester to understand that all affordable housing is really workforce housing,” said Nightingale.

Kimball said Gov. Kathy Hochul’s New York Housing Compact addresses a housing construction shortfall by promoting transit-oriented development. “Mayor Spano did it in Yonkers. They’re doing it in New Rochelle. They’re doing it in White Plains. This is the right way to go. It’s actually very good for the environment, because it’s much more beneficial to not have people driving,” said Kimball, adding that local land-use rules need updating. “I’m totally frustrated by driving around Yonkers and seeing sites that used to have homes, sometimes multifamily homes on it, which the homes were demolished or burned down years ago and it’s a vacant lot now. But under our current zoning code, it’s not big enough to put a house on.”

Doern said that despite rising interest rates, homes are still selling quickly because there is a scarcity of homes for sale for the 65% of her Westchester clients who want to remain in their communities. “A lot of people who would have scaled down didn’t…and now that the interest rates have gone up these buyers are sitting on very low interest rates,” said Doern, adding that she is seeing more cash buyers in recent years.

Goldrick said that recent bank failures have not affected Westchester’s banks. “The media is getting it a little bit wrong,” said Goldrick. “The banks that broke weren’t representative of…the community and regional banks that are out there. (Regional banks) are diversified in their deposit base and diversified in their investments.”

Summing up the program, Gordon said, “In terms of how Westchester lives and what this provides in terms of housing for our workers as well as the jobs during construction, it is very healthy.”

The Dynamic Transition of Westchester’s Platinum Mile

Office markets are often defined by a particular industry or a common identity. The significant growth of the Westchester office market that occurred from the late 1960s through the mid 1980s was propelled by the relocation of numerous corporate headquarters from Manhattan to campus office parks in the suburbs. The goal was to get away from New York’s urban core that was struggling during that period. Among the key corporations that relocated were large employers and their moves triggered a second wave of growth from smaller companies providing services and support to the large companies. The I-287 corridor was a key beneficiary of this trend, thereby earning its title as the Platinum Mile. Preeminent corporations like Texaco, General Foods and IBM among others established major facilities along Westchester Avenue.

Over time, however, conditions changed: fewer companies relocated due to Manhattan’s strong recovery. Some companies either decided to move away from the Platinum Mile, relocated as a result of having been acquired or reduced the footprint of their headquarters. Leasing activity slowed and persistent vacancies were recorded. Furthermore, many of the original office buildings were deemed inferior compared with new buildings and not competitive in the new workplace.

In recent years the I-287 corridor was re-imagined. A number of properties have been redeveloped for alternative uses such as apartments, retail and educational. A significant change has been the incredible expansion of medical-related use. Factors contributing to this have been the consolidation of physician offices from small individual practices into large combined entities such as Westmed that provide a full range of medical services. Today, medicine commands a strong presence in various facilities along the corridor. Another factor promoting medical-related growth has been the shift to greater ambulatory care and away from hospital-delivered service. Lastly, the aging of the area population has encouraged the growth in medical services. Replacing the corporate behemoths of the past on the I-287 corridor are some of the most recognizable names in medical services. They include:

NewYork-Presbyterian, which last year purchased the office park at 1111 Westchester Ave. with two buildings on 25 acres that formerly had been occupied by PepsiCo;

Montefiore Hospital, which leased

approximately 118,000 square feet at 104 Corporate Park Drive for a health care center;

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which occupies 114,000 square feet at 500 Westchester Ave.;

The Hospital for Special Surgery, which leases 50,000 square feet at 1133 Westchester Ave.

Probably the most noteworthy is the size and fast growth of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, which has purchased and expanded former properties occupied by

Union Carbide and IBM. No less noteworthy is White Plains Hospital, which has various satellite operations on the I-287 corridor besides its fast-expanding facilities in downtown White Plains. The hospital recently announced plans to tear down its Davis Avenue garage to make way for a new hospital building.

Like the earlier experience of the corporate entities the large medical establishments have attracted numerous smaller medical-related companies to lease space along the corridor, confirming the agglom-

eration effect.

The transition from primarily a corporate environment to one with a dominant medical-related services presence was slow in coming but reestablishes the I-287 corridor as an economic powerhouse and attests to the dynamic rebirth of the “Platinum Mile.”

Dining along the Hudson

JEREMY WAYNE

They say you can’t be all things to all people, but RiverMarket Bar & Kitchen comes close – first, for its location, by the Hudson, with a view of the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge and great sunsets, just steps from Tarrytown’s RiverWalk Park. But it’s not just about its situation. This large, sprawling restaurant – check out its impressive 200-yearold maple chevron-patterned floor and its locally reclaimed cypress mushroom wood ceiling – has a real sense of place, with a strong sense of locale in the food, too. The restaurant supports local farmers and producers, with eggs, butter, cheese, bacon and charcuterie all sourced from the area. It’s an eatery where “farm-to-table” is more than just a catchphrase.

The menu is vast, from soup, sandwiches and much more at lunchtime, leading into a dinner menu as long as your arm. RiverMarket is known for its wood-fired pizzas and calzones, made using premium soft wheat flour type “00,” of which the restaurant is rightly proud. (Think a firm, thin base with soft, puffed edges.) Housemade pastas feature, too, as well as fish and shellfish and some interesting, meaty entrées. The chicken burger – made from Hemlock Hill Farm pasture-raised chicken – is surprisingly moist, and special mention should be made of the main-course salad, comprising duck leg, duck breast and salami, haricot verts, almonds and crumbled blue cheese – a really striking, original dish. There’s an excellent biodynamic wine list, too, strong on France and Italy.

Add to all this an on-site fresh market and wine and spirit shop and you have, not just a restaurant, but an entire outing. On the minus side, RiverMarket only takes reservations for parties of six or more, service can be a little patchy and the acoustics, especially on weekends, can be challenging. On the plus side, though, are those unbelievable sunsets and a modern American menu that, while offering plenty of standard dishes, veers successfully away from the safe, tried and tested. And if owing to sheer size alone RiverMarket can sometimes feel a little bit “production-line,” at least it is a well-oiled machine.

No matter how well you know the river and the River Towns, there’s something rather thrilling about Half Moon in Dobbs Ferry, where you get a real “pinchme” sense of wonder at being so close to the water. Indeed, out on the deck, you’re so close to it, you’re practically in it.

Opened 10 years ago in a thrusting, cathedral-like wooden building by the experienced people behind Harvest-on-Hudson and Harvest on Fort Pond (in Montauk), Half Moon is to a large extent perhaps the most sophisticated of the trio and has proved a keeper. With its raw bar and “Montauk” menu, this is primarily a place for fish and shellfish, including calamari, clams, oysters and lobster prepared a variety of ways –plus a whole lot of shrimp, which comes as a cocktail, grilled or in tacos. The restaurant also does well with pinxtos, those tasty little snacks from Spain’s Basque Country.

From the non-fish/shellfish entrées, I would single out the roast rack of lamb with stewed tomatoes and tzatziki and another first-class duck dish, a classic French confit de canard with lentils and poached apples, the duck skin crisp with meltingly tender thigh and leg meat.

There is so much to love about Half Moon. And if it doesn’t quite refute the axiom that great views and great food are mutually exclusive, it comes very close.

With its anchors, fishing nets and pictures of lighthouses, Hudson Anchor, the charming Sleepy Hollow restaurant set over three floors, certainly gives off a New England, maritime vibe, which is to say more ocean than river – but let’s not split hairs over bodies of water. Five years after opening, it has established a loyal following – not least for its Thursday trivia nights – with locals and yet others coming from farther afield for classic chowder, coconut shrimp, a fine lobster roll and good quality burger. (Anchors aweigh: There’s even an anchor branded on top of the popular anchor burger.)

Hudson Anchor makes a reasonable stab at paella – a Spaniard might disagree, on the grounds of the lack of true saffron flavor, but it will pass muster for most of us – and the fish and chips, sent out as an enormous portion big enough for two, are top-notch. And although I’m not personally

a fan of truffle fries – the classic French fry in all its purity is the fry for me – for those who like a touch of truffle, these are the best thing, friends tell me, since the sliced potato.

The restaurant’s two decks, with Hudson River and bridge views, are dreamy spots and the bartenders, incidentally, are known to mix particularly good drinks. If

I’m ever going to order an expresso martini, it will likely be here, as an after dinner digestivo on a warm spring or summer evening, sipping my cocktail but also drinking in the view – the mighty Hudson, a starry night and the romance of it all.

HV county execs unite to oppose dumping radioactive water

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

The county executives in the Hudson Valley who come from both major political parties have united in opposition to the plan to dump radioactive wastewater from the Indian Point nuclear powerplant into the Hudson River. With leading environmentalists also on hand, Westchester County Executive George Latimer, Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus, Rockland County Executive Ed Day, Putnam County Executive Kevin Byrne, and Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger got together at The Factoria located on the Hudson River waterfront in Peekskill on April 17. They welcomed the suspension of a plan to dump radioactive water into the Hudson beginning in May and then went a step further and demanded that any planned dump of the toxic water be abandoned.

Bowing to intense pressure, Holtec, the company that took over Indian Point from Entergy and is responsible for its decommissioning under the control of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission decided to suspend its water dumping plan. Holtec originally planned to release from 500,000 to one million gallons of radioactive water into the Hudson beginning in August but then moved up the start date to May.

The county executives called for Holtec to now launch a transparent and thorough review of the Indian Point situation, including hearing from local residents and officials on how best to deal with contaminated wastewater at the plant.

“Holtec heard the clear call by all concerned parties to stop the plan to dump Indian Point wastewater into the majestic Hudson River but this battle is far from over,” Latimer said. “We need a plan for this radioactive wastewater from Indian Point, and we need the plan to protect the health of the people who call the Hudson Valley home. Decisions need to be made considering the welfare of the residents and the environment, not just Holtec’s bottom line.”

Day characterized what Holtec had planned to do as an environmental atrocity.

“Our unanimous opposition paid off, which includes pending New York state legislation to ban the discharging of radioactive waste into the Hudson River and a petition with over 400,000 signatures,” Day said. “The voice of the people still indeed carries weight and can turn the tide.”

Day pointed out that Holtec also is try-

ing to dump 1.1 million gallons of water from the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Massachusetts into Cape Cod Bay but has been stopped for now by the Environmental Protection Agency.

“If Holtec is willing to risk an entire fishing industry clearly they will not blink an eye at dumping radioactive waste into our Hudson River here,” Day said.

Byrne said, “We recognize and realize that the Hudson River brings a tremendous amount of benefits to the Hudson Valley, not just environmentally, but also to our health, also to our economy, to our tourism, you name it.”

Byrne said that while the area no longer receives the benefit of carbon-free energy generation from the nuclear plant, it is now being asked to absorb the risk of dumping radioactive water.

“There are absolutely other alternative solutions and we need to be very clear in our resolve to say under no circumstances will any of our local officials support any effort to dump this wastewater into our beautiful Hudson River,” Byrne said.

Metzger said, “I’m here on behalf of Ulster County communities upstream of Indian Point to express our strong and united opposition to Holtec’s plans to discharge treated radioactive waste into the Hudson River. We have been fighting corporate polluters for too many decades.”

Metzger said that the wastewater should be safely stored on the Indian Point site while better disposal methods are evaluated.

“This plan must be in keeping with our knowledge and valuers in 2023, not with the 1960 standards of the nuclear power

industry, which viewed local waterways as a garbage bin that would absorb the cost of doing business and help their bottom line,” Metzger said. “In the Hudson Valley we love our clean air and our clean water and we are willing to fight for it.”

Neuhaus said, “We really can’t take any chances. We have an obligation to protect our citizens. When you see us really united like this you know it’s important.”

Latimer said that when there are regional issues it’s important that government leaders get together to deal with them.

“The success and the health of this river is very much a common interest,” Latimer said. “We are pleased that Holtec paused but we want more than a pause. We want a full stop and we want to be part of the decision-making process to understand what the options are.”

Kearney presents plans for The Green in Newburgh

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

The Kearney Realty & Development

Group of Somers has presented plans for its proposed project at 140-146 Montgomery St. and 137 Smith St. in Newburgh to the city’s Planning Board. Kearney won development rights for the Urban Renewal property from the City of Newburgh in a competitive process. The three currently vacant parcels total about one acre. The buildings that had been on the land had been cleared for Urban Renewal.

Newburgh had received five responses from developers who were interested in doing something at the site. Those were narrowed down to two proposals and Kearney’s was selected.

The project has been named The Green and would include two buildings. Building 1 would be a three-story rowhouse containing 45 residential units. Building 2 would be a five-story building with 73 apartments, retail space of about 7,000 square feet and two levels of parking. It would front along South Street. Between the two buildings would be a lawn area for passive recreation, a public outdoor patio area and a playground area.

Rents for apartments at The Green would be set to be affordable for people earing 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% of the Orange County Area Median Income (AMI).

Kearney’s submitting of plans for the construction marks a step forward in a process that included the city inviting developers to submit proposals for developing the Urban Renewal lots, public hearings and the city setting the stage for transferring the Urban Renewal parcels for development.

In making an initial presentation to the Newburgh City Council, Sean Kearney, vice president of Kearny Realty & Development Group, said the group is family owned and

operated and develops, constructs and manages all of its properties.

“We have developed over $400 million worth of development of residential construction throughout New York state,” Kearney said. “We’re one of the leading developers in New York state for middle-income housing. In the past five or six years we’ve really focused and specialized on downtown revitalization, community revitalization and mixed-income developments.”

Kearney said that their guiding principle for The Green was to create an innovative mixed-income and mixed-use new construction development that promotes the physical revitalization of the surrounding neighborhood.

“We wanted to find a way to provide diverse housing opportunities through affordable housing and multiple income levels, not just reaching very low-income and not just reaching 100% AMI,” Kearney said. “We’re trying to hit that missing middle. We wanted to provide opportunities for neighborhood-scale businesses. We wanted to implement a comprehensive workforce development plan and create equitable opportunities in the city.”

Kearney said that the building along Smith Street is designed to look like numer-

ous multi-family buildings and the building along Montgomery Street is designed to look like individual brownstones.

“There is a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units,” Kearney said. “It honors the neighborhood’s historical context. It recreates a community and physical environment that once existed pre-Urban Renewal. It’s designed in conformance with the East End Historic District’s guidelines. It creates no visual disharmony with the surrounding community and we need no variances. We’re completely compliant with zoning but for parking. We have about 80 parking spaces designed between on-site and off-site.”

Kearney said that the project would include community gardens and that free Wi-Fi would be provided for all of the resi-

dents. He said the buildings would be LEED certified and comply with state green building and energy efficiency initiatives.

Kearney said that the retail spaces would be targeted to appeal to the surrounding community as well as residents of the development. He said that one of the commercial spaces would be designated for a local small business and he proposed that the city issue a Request for Proposals to select the business. He said that the rent could be as low as $6.50 per square foot for the first three years, a break-even level for the developer.

“One of the biggest struggles of small business in their first or their second year is, ‘how do I pay the rent,’” Kearney said. “Now, they don’t need to worry about that. They can focus on their business and how do they improve their business.”

The Leviticus Fund, a Tarrytownbased nonprofit lender, received a $1.6 million Financial Assistance Award last month from the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) Fund.

The FA Award followed a highly active 2022 for the Leviticus Fund, which closed $25.6 million in loans and made $22.1 million in loan disbursements. Many of the projects financed by the fund encompassed nonprofit affordable housing as well as supportive services for those who were formerly or are currently homeless. The award also coincided with the Leviticus Fund’s 40-year anniversary.

The formal name for this entity is Leviticus 25:23 Alternative Fund – and as the name suggests, it is based in the faithbased community. The roots of the fund were planted in a December 1981 meeting of religious leaders from the Tri-State Coalition for Responsible Investment, who were considering new vehicles for advancing their values to help the less fortunate members of the regional society.

In May 1983, 27 religious congregations pooled $360,000 in capital to form the fund, which made its first two loans in 1984 in support of a tenant-owned cooperative in New York City and a workplace and training center for mentally challenged adults in Nyack. The fund became one of the nation’s

first certified CDFIs in 1994.

Executive Director Greg Maher explained that Leviticus Fund is a lender that serves nonprofit developers in the TriState Area. He stressed that the fund does not operate as a charity, nor is it focused on giving grants that are not expected to be repaid.

“Loan funds are nonprofit corporations, so we are not at a bank-founded depository institution,” explained Executive Director Greg Maher. “We are part of the community development finance movement – we provide financing and technical assistance to developers that are doing work in high-poverty neighborhoods, and we provide them with a range of very flexible loan products to get their projects up off the ground during pre-construction. We also provide construction and rehab financing, and also during the operating phase of the project.”

Maher stated that the Leviticus Fund focuses on nonprofit developers rather than their for-profit counterparts because “we feel that’s the best strategy if you’re talking about housing that’s affordable to lower income families – not only building the housing, because they do it well, but also holding on to it over the long term. Because if you have a for-profit that owns it, once it becomes deregulated and if it’s in a neighborhood that’s gentrified or where values have risen, they’re much more likely to sell it, evict the tenants and go to market on it.”

Today, roughly three-quarters of

Leviticus Fund’s lending is focused on affordable housing developments. Maher also noted that despite the stereotype of high risks in this sector of lending, the fund’s history has been mostly free of delinquent borrowers.

“Over the last five years, we’ve had very low default rate of less than 1%,” he said. “And our write-off rate has been zero – we have no write-offs at all. The real risks are there, certainly, but we usually try to address that in a very careful way with our underwriting and our due diligence.”

Maher further explained that Leviticus Fund makes a serious effort to establish relationships with potential borrowers, pointing out that “the nonprofits we lend to we know really well – we get to know them, we meet with them. It’s kind of like the old-fashioned lending based on close relationships and really knowing who you’re working with. And that’s helped in terms of the lower default rates.”

Maher noted the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program as being crucial in affordable housing development, though he also acknowledged that developments are often stymied by multiple obstacles in many localities.

“Zoning is the major impediment in Westchester and Fairfield County to more affordable rental housing,” he said. “On the for-sale side of homeownership, it’s even more challenging. Not only is zoning a problem, because you have restrictive zoning in certain places – especially in wealthier

communities – but the cost of land is so significant because there are relatively few parcels left that can be developed into for-sale housing that’s affordable.”

Looking ahead, Maher said the Leviticus Fund will be planning a major celebration in Manhattan on Oct. 12 to mark the organization’s 40th anniversary by highlighting its achievements and calling attention to its newest projects.

“The theme for that 40th anniversary is ‘seed to the sower,’” he said. “The sowers would be the nonprofits that do the work in communities, and Leviticus is the one that provides them seed, which are financial resources to do their work. And I think we’ll be looking forward to the next 40 years, and I think we have a lot of momentum. The grant we received from the CDFI Fund is a real vote of confidence from the CDFI Fund.”

Newly launched Owners Bank aims at small business owners

M

Billed as being “all business, no BS,” Owners Bank will offer traditional business interest checking and savings accounts, but it will also offer a digital platform than enables customers to create a personalized dashboard that consolidates all of their accounts – from Owners Bank and other financial institutions – into a single user-friendly view designed to manage finances more easily.

“Big banks often fall short when it comes to servicing small businesses,” said Owners Bank Founder and CEO David Mitchell. “So, in an age when small businesses represent a large and impactful portion of our business landscape, workforce and economy, we thought it was about time there was a bank that caters specifically to their needs. This is why we created Owners Bank — to fill a major gap in the banking industry by providing tools designed to help small business owners knock out financial tasks, so they can get back to running their businesses.”

Owners Bank will be initially available to small business owners in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, with a national rollout planned for the near future. The bank will begin to originate business loans and credit starting in mid-2023.

“With over $7 billion in assets, Liberty Bank has always been owned by its customers and is committed to putting them first,” said David W. Glidden, President and CEO of Liberty Bank. “Our mission since inception nearly 200 years ago has always been rooted in helping the communities we serve – especially small businesses who have specific needs that Owners Bank is uniquely designed to address. With the creation of this new digital bank, we are expanding our footprint to provide even more support to small business owners who are looking for a well-established innovative banking partner.”

New fintech bank proposed for Greenwich

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

Connecticut Banking Commissioner

Jorge Perez recently presided over a public hearing for the formation of a proposed de novo bank in Greenwich, to be called Currency Reserve.

Currency Reserve styles itself as a fintech bank, but it will primarily serve customers by providing them with direct access to physical deliveries of physical cash.

“Currency Reserve aspires to be an appropriately capitalized state bank with principal offices in Greenwich, Connecticut,” said CEO Vivek Tyagi at the hearing in Hartford. “As described in the application document submitted to the department and reviewed by FS Vector in the feasibility study, we plan to safely and responsibly engage in bank note distribution of U.S. dollars.”

Tyagi has a long history in banking, particularly with an emphasis on risk management, including roles as the head of risk management for liquidity and shortterm investments at JP Morgan, managing director and chief risk officer at Bank

of America Merrill Lynch, and managing director for the investment banking division at Goldman Sachs.

Tyagi also served as the head of risk for products at Silicon Valley Bank between 2018 and 2019. Recently, empty positions within the risk management team at Silicon Valley Bank were blamed by some analysts and commentators for the bank’s collapse.

According to Tyagi, Currency Reserve will fulfill the application requirement that approved banks will benefit the state by contributing to efforts to keep the U.S. dollar as the world’s primary reserve currency. To that end, Tyagi cited his experienced management team as an asset in launching the bank.

“In addition to [Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel] Matthew Hurlock and myself, the rest of our management team are highly experienced and have deep functional subject matter expertise,” he said. “For good governance, our management team is overseen by a board of directors that have longstanding alignment with the department of banking and the Federal Reserve’s principals for the safety and soundness of the U.S. banking system.”

Hurlock has worked for almost 15 years with various law firms, specializing in mergers and acquisitions. Also named on the application was Richard Ravitch, who was lieutenant governor of New York for a brief period of time. He was prevented from serving in most of the role’s functions due to a series of legal battles over the constitutionality of his appointment by David Paterson after the resignation of Eliot Spitzer in 2009. During his actual time in office, Ravitch focused on tackling budgetary concerns and also served in a number of appointed positions in New York government.

Three applicants are members of Salt Lake City, Utah-based Cynosure Group, a financial services company. Among them are Randal Quarles, a founder and current executive chairman of the Cynosure Group and former member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from the end of 2017 to 2021. Quarles is joined by Zachary Larkin, a managing director of the Cynosure Group with extensive experience on company boards and self-described “adrenaline junkie,” and Gregory Giordano, an associate at Cynosure.

Commissioner Perez had few ques-

tions for the applicants, saying he had closely read all the application materials. However, he did pose a philosophical question: “Given the growth of digital currencies how do you think the whole concept of a bank might be impacted by the concept of a digital world?”

“Our belief is that bank notes occupy a distinct value proposition which is not adequately serviced by the digital alternatives,” Tyagi replied, citing a feasibility analysis by FS Vector, a consulting firm that specializes in services for innovative financial institutions.

FS Vector representatives told the commission that the bank is likely to succeed, even if faced with headwinds from changes in the market, or the adoption of a “digital dollar” and recommended that approval be granted contingent upon gaining access to Master Account and Cash Services Access through the Federal Reserve to acquire the dollar bills for distribution, and contracting with fully licensed delivery providers to ensure that the banknotes can be securely delivered.

Commissioner Perez stated he will render his decision in writing as soon as practical.

Former Polar Air execs charged with taking $23M in kickbacks

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

Four former senior executives of Polar Air Cargo Worldwide Inc., of Purchase, have been accused of accepting more than $23 million in kickbacks from vendors.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office charged the executives and six representatives of various vendors with fraud, in an indictment filed April 12 in U.S. District Court, Manhattan.

“The fraud they perpetrated led to pervasive corruption of Polar’s business,” the indictment states, “touching nearly every aspect of the company’s operations for over a decade.”

The alleged kickback scheme cost the international cargo carrier about $52 million in losses from 2009 to July 2021, according to the indictment.

Polar Air is a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide, a publicly-traded airline valued at $2.9 billion by market capitalization, also headquartered in Purchase.

Atlas owns 51% of Polar. DHL Express courier service owns 49%.

The executives charged in the alleged schemes are Lars Winkelbauer, 47, of Bangkok, Thailand; Abilash Kurien, 45, of Wilton, Connecticut; Carlton Llewellyn, 55, of Highland Mills, Orange County; and Robert Schirmer, 58, of Port Jefferson Station, Suffolk County.

They allegedly used their positions to manipulate contracts to their advantage.

Winkelbauer was vice president of marketing, revenue management and network planning, and later, the chief operating officer. Kurien was director of business development and excellence. Llewellyn was vice president of operations, system performance and quality. Schirmer was director of customer services.

The indictment cites three unnamed co-conspirators, including a Polar director of global sales and a vice president of sales and marketing.

The executives steered business to certain vendors, according to the indictment, and ensured them favorable ship -

ping rates and incentives. In return, they received kickbacks or distributions from companies they secretly owned.

For instance, Winkelbauer, Kurien and two co-conspirators allegedly owned Ultimate Logistics GSA, a Bridgewater, New Jersey trucking, warehousing and distribution company.

The executives bypassed the competitive bidding process, according to the indictment, and arranged for Ultimate Logistics to serve as its sales agent in the Chicago region for selling cargo space on planes.

Ultimate paid $7 million in profits from the Polar deal, the indictment states, to companies controlled by Winkelbauer, Kurien and the co-conspirators.

Polar also works with companies that handle on-the-ground logistics at airports.

Winkelbauer, Kurien, Llewellyn and a co-conspirator allegedly formed A-1 Handling in 2019 to replace a ground services company at Los Angeles International Airport.

A-1 got the contract, “despite internal

opposition” from other employees of Polar and Atlas Air, according to the indictment.

A-1 also was chosen to provide warehousing services in Chicago, despite being one of the highest-cost bidders for the contract. In 2020 and 2021, the indictment states, Polar paid $5 million to A-1 for ground handling services.

The former Polar executives were charged with honest services wire fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

They were fired in July 2021, according to the indictment, after Polar discovered evidence of “conflicted ownership arrangements and kickback agreements.”

Six vendor defendants from California, Florida and New York also were charged Attorneys representing Llewellyn and Kurien did not respond to emails requesting comments on behalf of their clients. Winkelbauer and Schirmer do not have attorneys yet, according to the case docket.

Assistant federal prosecutors Danielle M. Kudla and Katherine C. Reilly are handling the case for U.S. Attorney Damian Williams.

UNION AGREEMENT REACHED AT HOSPITAL IN HUDSON VALLEY

Members of 1199SEIU, the nation’s largest health-care union, have voted overwhelmingly to ratify a contract that will improve the lives of the workers, their families and patients, and will also help to recruit and retain staff

The ratification vote on Friday April 14, was the culmination of months of negotiating that began in September 2022. Technical workers at St. Anthony Community Hospital voted to become 1199SEIU members in September 2021. The following July, the service workers at St. Anthony, Schervier Pavilion and Mount Alverno Assisted Living Center joined them. Negotiations were held together, resulting in one contract for all 240 health-care workers.

“We are incredibly proud of what we secured in our first-ever contract as 1199 members,” said Amanda Wells, an ER technician and member of the 1199 Ne-

gotiating Committee. “Short-staffing in health care is a national problem, but with below-market wages, it has just not been possible to retain and recruit. This contract provides competitive wages to attract new staff. To maintain staff there are longevity increases for service employees and experience steps for technical employees; these contract provisions reward staff for their continued dedication. Add to that 1199’s affordable and comprehensive National Health Benefit Fund (NBF) and we have a solid foundation that we will continue to build on in the years to come,” she said.

1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East is the largest and fastest-growing health-care union in America representing more than 450,000 nurses and caregivers throughout Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Florida.

FILMMAKER RESIDENCY PROGRAM LAUNCHED

LMC Media recently announced the successful launch of the Future Filmmaker Program featuring Sara Ettinger and Bella Pianko, students from the Sound Shore area. Matt Sullivan, LMC’s executive director, said, “Fostering a love of storytelling in the next generation is crucial to fulfilling our mission of connecting the community through media.

On Wednesday, April 26, Westchester County elder law attorneys Sara E. Meyers and Samantha A. Lyons of Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano LLP, in White Plains and Somers, will present “Aging in Place: A Guide to Growing Older at Home” – part of the firm’s 2023 Lunch & Learn Series. The free educational program is open to the public though space is limited.

Those interested are encouraged to register early by calling 914-948-1500. A light lunch and refreshments are included.

“Aging in place can be a reality for many – though it’s important to plan ahead and understand what options are available… from necessary estate planning documents and financial management tools to senior-proofing and Medicaid home care eligibility,” said Meyers.

I’m thrilled that we can provide the resources and platform for students to hone and share their craft with the world. We hope to find additional funding to support and grow this program so we can continue to bring this opportunity to as many students as possible.”

Each semester, a local high school student is chosen to serve as LMC’s resident student filmmaker – any interested student can apply. Students are hired by LMC and given access to a full suite of filmmaking equipment with which they can create, film and edit on their own schedule during their residency.

NEAF EXHIBITION, RECORD ATTENDANCE

WEDC GOES TO WASHINGTON

In March, Nikki Hahn, CEO of the Women’s Enterprise Development Center, attended the Women’s Business Summit kick-off at the White House. The summit, along with the announcement to increase the number of Women’s Business Centers to 160, demonstrates a commitment to supporting women entrepreneurs and ensuring their businesses have access to the tools, resources and funding they need to thrive. “Women-owned businesses have been growing at a remarkable rate in recent years and

providing them with the resources and support they need to succeed is essential for our economy’s growth and prosperity,” said Hahn.

The Women’s Enterprise Development Center, with offices in White Plains and Poughkeepsie, hosts two Women’s Business Centers, two New York state Entrepreneur Assistance Centers, and provides training, mentoring, networking, one-on-one advising, MWBE certification assistance and access to capital for both English and Spanish-speaking clients.

“It is inspiring to see the commitment of leaders like President Biden and U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Isabella Guzman to support women entrepreneurs and their businesses. I hope that events like the Women’s Business Summit will continue to promote the importance of supporting women entrepreneurs and encourage more investments in their businesses. By doing so, we can help create a more diverse, equitable and thriving business ecosystem that benefits us all,” said Hahn.

More than 120 exhibitors at the Northeast Astronomy Forum had ample opportunity to introduce the latest in technology for stargazers. The popular exhibition and forum, hosted by the Rockland Astronomy Club, has been a staple at Rockland Community College (RCC) for more than 30 years but was paused two years due to the pandemic. Astronomy buffs had the opportunity to hear guest speakers from the field of space technology, including Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise; Eileen Collins, NASA’s first female Space Shuttle Commande; and Gerry Griffin, Apollo flight director. Workshops and beginner’s classes were available to learn about the latest technology available to the public. Held at RCC’s Field House, the 90,000-square-foot exhibition space

was brimming with vendors and visitors throughout the two-day event. The NEA Forum also gave vendors the opportunity to showcase the most recent developments in the field of astronomy. NEAF, with over 4,000 members, partners yearly with the Rockland Astronomy Club to host the event. The creation of Space Force in 2019 has also spurred a renewed interest in the science of the stars and galaxies. The Rockland Astronomy Club, which coordinates the NEAF event each year, was founded in 1958 after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik into space. With more than 250 members and volunteers, its mission is to bring education and outreach to the public and to the astronomical community. For more information, visit rocklandastronomy.co.
